I need to upgrade my crappy sunglasses now that we are back into
boating. The last nice pair I had ended up in Lake Erie 2 years ago
while on a cruise on our friends Lyman.

Who makes a decent pair of polarized sunglasses with glass lenses?
I
think my last pair was a Sunglass Hut proprietary brand......no
longer
available.

My eyes are pretty sensitive to sunlight. Any suggestions?

Glass? You don't mean glass. You mean high quality plastic.

Why not glass?


Ditto. I've tried sunglasses made with different types of plastic
lenses. Seems like all had some level of distortion or aberration.
Nothing compares to glass IMO.

I agree.

Ever had a properly made pair of plastic prescription shades that cost
more
than $100?

Yes - and they sucked.

Wrong optician! I've had some that sucked, too. Then, I switched places and
the glasses have been flawless. To an extent, it depends on the frame
choice, an issue where some places give lousy advice, or none at all. I have
bad astigmatism, and I wear bifocals. The frames I wanted had a rather small
vertical measurement. The guy pointed out that the bifocal "blend point"
would have to be a compromise that I would probably find annoying.

Another issue with plastic is the introduction of torsion, however slight,
by places that don't know how to properly fit the lens to the frame. They
think tightness is the way to a secure lens. In fact, it's how they're
fitted to the frame.
